Hilarious. I saw the video on a 2003 trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame, but the routine was a little fast for me to catch it all. Now that it's in book form, I caught the whole thing. ( )

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
Adorable little book utilizing the classic Abbott & Costello sketch by the same name, reframed for a younger audience who aren't old enough for the classic skit yet. Lovely illustrations and a good way to introduce a small one to humor. I received this book through Early Reviewers and didn't realize that the review didn't save when I posted it after I got the book. I keep the book in a basket of things I keep for small visitors. ( )

Great way to introduce the who's on first skit with your kids. Takes some explaining obviously but easy to follow with the illustrations. ( )

This is a fantasy book, because the illustrations show animals talking, but it could be realistic fiction as well. This book retells the comedy sketch of "Who's on First", which is composed of wordplay of the English language. One individual asks the other "Who's on first", meaning first base, and the coach says that he is correct, meaning that the player's name is "Who". The rest of the book contains puns and wordplay about the rest of the players on the team. ( )
